    tis but relish on the burger, not the meat itself, it has to be said!

    think one of the nice elements about them is they generally had to be earnt, by literally 'keeping the faith' rather than just bought over the counter, bring back patches! seriously I'm sure you could boost attendances to nighter with these things, there so hard to come by now. some young kid around 19, who'd traveled from cornwall, was fascinated by my addididas holdall and badges at the king's a couple of years back, and I dont even have any good ones on it!

    I started a thread on this a while back, I must of been really out of it when I saw an original 6ts issue @ keele in the 80's as I'm enthatically told it doesnt exist, but there still a bit of me that says I saw it in a box!

    moved to london in '87 and attended rare groove night at the wag and various west end venues, along with allnighters and events on the NS scene, as an uneducated young soul boy, my perceptions of rare groove at the time were of obvious tunes such as the 'jackson sisters' and 'voices of east harlem'- 'wanted dead or alive', also the 'vibrettes' 'humpty dump', the general impression was of records that had the funkyness and feel of tunes on hot wax and invictus.

    I'm a bit guilty of that too mace.

    I heard you were dragged on stage by King Kurt, Mace, and then a gallon or snakebite was poured down you gullet, any truth in the rumour? pmsl.

    the way some of you guys have put it reminds me of the inherent qualities of collecting, the asthetics heritage ect and I do see the point but for me its always beena bout the thrill of the chase and cant understand anyone who's ONLY absorbed in collecting records the're very familiar with, thats what makes me wonder about those who do. Dont you loose something as a collector when your not keeping you collection topped up with fresh plays? Are you really collecting music or just memories?
  13. Geeselad
    Sorry Kev, not being pedantic but I'm not following you either, but you should know I'm a skatty divit by now! but to clarify what I mean is there are a whole bunch of collectors that chase the same tunes wether they be classified as big oldies or rare soul. and it seems to me there not in the least bit interested in music, just investing in something that will either keep its value well, in monetary terms or in terms of getting people up to dance with reliable sounds.
  14. Geeselad
    its often the case, and I'm not being specific but I played a clip of a rare unknown on here that I honestly wouldnt keep if I'd payed a couple of quid for, it was valued at several hundreds. I'm not even about people who collect to uncover and discover music, there seem so many that arent interested in anythign that isnt a very well know sound that will instantly fill the floor, be it Holly st James or Harvey Averne.

    its the first choice reels that do it for me.
  16. Geeselad
    I'm totally fished off at you's all carping on and taking the phish!
  17. Geeselad

    Are some northern fans more into collecting than the music? a non soulie friend and I were having a conv about hobbies, he's a big fishing head, we were talking about ' all the gear no idea' and he asked me the above question, cause I lept to our defence but since I've been wondering. Especially as I know people on the rare and oldies scenes only seem to be interested in records they already know and have been availible on CD for the last 15 years.

    most of joe's 6ts is worth a punt,try 6ts stuff from these artists, ray Barretto, mongosantamaria, the latin souls, hector rivera, pucho and the latin brothers, that should keep you busy to start with.
  22. Geeselad
    sorry, pete, I heard it was doris, but stand corrected.
  23. Geeselad
    Not sure if he ever admitted to it but Robert plant vocals owe a lot to Bobby parker, its that ' whow a ho a ho' thing both often have going on. I do know both he and pagey often cites johnny watson as an influence.
  24. Geeselad
    cant see anyone has mentioned it, how about Doris Troy doing the add lib vocal on great gig in the sky- by pink floyd. oops, just seen it right at the start.
  25. Geeselad
